JUST ME AND THE MONSTERS

OLEG RAZUMOVSKY "JUST ME AND THE MONSTERS". FIRST AMERICAN (WRITTEN IN ENGLISH) BOOK OF THE MODERN RUSSIAN UNDERGROUND'S CLASSIC -- "RUSSIAN BUKOWSKY"... THE US LITERARY FIGURES ON HIS STORIES: "I love these stories. Oleg does so much with detail laid on top of detail. Its easy to get involved in his characters in a small number of words. —Garreth Keating, Roadside fiction /// Damn. A nightmare come to life... Glad I read it and glad I’m not there. Very nice, indeed. —Jeff Weddle, writer ///...It’s a dark place, a damned place, but a place that has great faith—faith that deaths coming and it’s coming quick. — Tyler Malone /// ...Just because I know we'll get hatemail about this: Razumovsky's story, leading off the issue, is fiction, folks. It shows a certain way of life; how some people live in a certain part of Moscow. If you want to take it too literally, or as a memoir/prescription...just advance notice that we'll be ignoring your rebukes. —J de Salvo /// Funny and moving stories. — Jay Passer, poet
